Ingredients:

• Cream Cheese: 8 ounces, softened
• Eggs: 2 large, room temperature
• Egg Yolk: 1
• Vanilla Extract: 1/2 teaspoon
• Chocolate Liquid Stevia: 2 teaspoons
• Salt: A pinch
• Natural Red Food Coloring: Adjust to your desired hue
• Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: 1/3 cup
• Sour Cream: 1/2 cup

Optional Chocolate Sauce:

• Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips: 3 ounces
• Unsalted Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:

   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
   • In a stand mixer, or using a large mixing bowl and an electric hand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, natural red food coloring, and chocolate liquid stevia. Blend on medium speed until smooth and well incorporated.
   • Gradually add in the cocoa powder and sour cream, then blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth.

2. Prepare the Baking Pan:

   • Grease or line a 4-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
   • Wrap the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil to form a seal.
   • Place the springform pan into an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.

3. Bake the Cheesecake:

   • Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared springform pan.
   • Bake for 40-45 minutes. Baking time may vary depending on your oven; electric ovens tend to cook quicker than gas, so check at 35 minutes and continue baking until the center is set.
   • Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool for 10 minutes.

4. Chill:

   • Carefully remove the cheesecake from the water bath and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight to set completely.

5. Prepare the Optional Chocolate Sauce:

   • When ready to serve, melt the chocolate chips with the butter in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
   • Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the cheesecake, if desired.
